Blackface Incident Public Statement

The Greek Community (Interfraternity Council, National
Pan-Hellenic Council, Multicultural Greek Council, Panhellenic Council) at UF
has been informed of a recent offensive photograph that was taken at a recent
social function. We are aware of the actions by certain members of the IFC and
PC community and want to make it clear that we do not condone or support these
actions in any way. At this point we are still working to collect all the facts
regarding the situation but we can confirm at this time that the members in the
photograph are not members of Delta Chi fraternity.

At UF we have a very diverse Greek Community and we believe
this diversity makes us one of the strongest Greek Communities in the country.
We are working together to hold these individuals and chapters accountable for
their actions. We will also use this opportunity to better educate our members
regarding these issues and would like to make it known that these actions are
not in line with the values our chapters were founded on and continually based
on today.
